10 Mar 2009 - OUR VISIT TO THE BEAUTIFUL ANCIENT CITY OF VENICE ITALYThis 4 day trip certainly did come up to our expectations..The city of Venice holds much history, and we all appreciated the finer points of the visit as well as the shopping and the eating.We met the Red Hat Ladies from Holland and found that they too were all like minded and although we didnt speak Dutch..it didnt stop us enjoying our time together..Two Ladies joined us Gadabouts from The Fen Fatales..they became affectionately known as the Two Beryls..On the photographs you will see us all pictured together in St Marks Square..we certainly made our presence known as people stopped us to have pictures taken with us etc..We had a very nice evening seeing the opera La Traviata..a great experience again for those of us who have never seen the opera..I did think about our Gadabouts at home and wished that we could all have been together..but maybe in the future we can organise a big Gadabout trip..so until next time Arrivederci Venice..
